11:01 am
the country is growing very grow up just look at the numbers i know of a plan to resolve the us debt crisis falls apart in the senate with the clock ticking towards choose day deadline to avoid default. and s.s. veterans gathering at a state celebrate the nazi pol schools is an outrage and activists say turning a blind eye to this could lead to more tragedy similar to what happened in norway. and israel's praise for the biggest protest rally in new years as anti-government demonstrations in the country begin to the arab spring uprising. very warm welcome to you this is a lie from moscow and all the plan to avoid a u.s.
11:02 am
debt default has failed to pass through the senate after democrats rejected accounts bill proposed by the republicans with the clock ticking down to tuesday's deadline there's less time to find a way out of what president obama's called the debt mess along precedented default crisis economists that max are fond of wolf says all the proposals on the table are just putting all the west out. less than two business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in the world and america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelfth hour the debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid and the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars over ten years so more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year does no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somewhat unwise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is
11:03 am
possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit and the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and balance plan and so it's possible that that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows and us a government that represents anything nice is in equipped to deal with the whelming problem say says johnson on tape from the u.s. based trans general. the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians lie let's look at the bigger picture first of all they're devaluing the dollar and we've been saying that all along gold
11:04 am
in the last month has gained a hundred and fifteen dollars an ounce the dollar's crashing against the swiss franc and other currencies you can see what's going on and let's look at the bigger picture what they're not talking about in all this deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how is that out companies like general electric that made fourteen billion dollars last year paying no taxes look there's plenty of room out there to start raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government that's only for little kiddies to believe we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their perks when i say in the program we hit
11:05 am
the streets to thank you and americans what they think also that drama. it makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multiparty i would go to parties to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while to realize how bad things really are they give the american people what does america does. anybody really what they really want. and as. veterans and the holding that. with the support of the local flora on the. set to happen by also you sarah. we're here in this town a cinema for the annual gathering of the veterans of the a stain in waffen s.s. now the event has attracted widespread criticism of the is being seen to glorify
11:06 am
nazi as a spirit. here in a saying you doing here already criticize being seen not only to condone this type of event but for having made it increasingly difficult over the years for those who oppose this to come to rally now the anti fascist movement hold a rally very nearby at the same time as this is going on and as we said in recent years we've seen people coming from latvia from is the way in year from finland they've been detained at the borders and not be able to enter and take part again today coming in a lot of the people who are involved in the anti fascist movement rally that's happening nearby have been questioned by police we know that the head of the anti fascist finnish organization was actually detained last night at the pool of talent and he wasn't allowed to leave the bases so he's being sent back today russia since two thousand and five has been introducing draft legislation to the u.n. condemning the glorification of nazi isn't we've seen
11:07 am
a number of countries get on board with this but there have been some that haven't events like this that have got the government support here in a stay in year certainly cause a lot of anger and at the very least a seen as being morally and politically insensitive for finish human rights activists you know how many us are mentioned in her report there is joining us live now to share his experience i miss about many hours of being with us here and also you so as far as we understand you were actually prevented from getting to the anti-fashion straightly in the air how did that happen in a war grounds we refused. well when i tried to enter the country i was i was stopped and i was told that i have an entry to the country and they will send me back to think it by boat but there was no boat so i was supposed to stay overnight on an empty huge ferry which was quite frightening as
11:08 am
a matter of fact but of course they don't want any kind of. other opinions than their own opinion which is very very much supporting the is this movement which is supporting veterans who fought for hitler in the war they would want to see any kind of. picketing against this. allegedly private venue or for. veterans which is actually a neo nazi meeting so that all concerned by the government from your experiences of what you've seen on the ground that you're standing government is that simply protecting people praising not as a people taking a part in these pro nazi rallies. years it has been this has been carried out for several years already and they are gathering cities all over europe and all over the world actually and the government of. protecting this venue the
11:09 am
security police of us tony. prohibiting individuals who want to protest against this venue entering the country and i am one of these who are. prohibited to entering the country yesterday late evening and of course against the or human rights we have a freedom of speech we have for you freedom of expression we had to reduce the illegal protest demonstration against these nuts in your nazi meeting and but they didn't want to see that let's try this out me was about come and see the rest of europe and most notably the recent shopping shocking a happenings in norway there has been this apparent rise in far right movements across europe hasn't that that recent tragedy in all as though the very shocking out west so far all of the mulcher culturalism sentiment if you like how this than
11:10 am
the stone in march is be seen as part of a common dangerous trend thing. well unfortunately what we've seen is tony is the same phenomenon it isn't all true nationalistic extreme right government which is a caring old police feel for certain are part of paid against the russian speaking minority and also they are repressing the all. so to say dissidents who don't agree with these policies and one of the individuals who has been repressed in this case . prohibiting me entering the country and expressing my own opinion or protest against this kind of neo nazi meeting sinister about men in your opinion what should be done to prevent mere nazi ideology from spreading further throughout europe well i think that various countries are should raise these easy shoe in the united nations and demand
11:11 am
a reaction from within the united nations against countries which are glorifying that system with this kind of venues for example is don't let also some other countries like a go have bought many human rights activists speaking to us from estonia many thanks for your thoughts thank you very much now it seems like living in it for the finnish anti-fascist committee savy used turning a blind died without offense and it may lead to more tragedy similar to the attacks in norway. all normal that the if the main break their hands are really breaking to keep their speech story and their outrageous that this is it is the one in prime minister it's not the ending that they're all watching and supporting it and because european union have been so lousy and weak the hormones. only
11:12 am
themselves of these as right wing extremists and not just rising now you are not and we were all laughing already the. one example of the. well the baltic states have become infamous in the recent is the what is being dubbed the rebalancing of history the annual meetings of the sea better it's happening in latvia as well with an official call ruling authorizing them back in two thousand and seven and saying all florentines removed a monument commemorating the soviet soldiers who liberated the country from the patient the move caused of violent protests. head to the website of the new documentary channel to discover more about the history of world war two a connection with each bringing in chilling reality the experience as it was for the millions of people who suffered through it do know. dops dot com to find out more.
11:13 am
is rather is bracing itself for the biggest protest rally in the years thousands of panic coming out across the country for about a week now calling for social justice and for prime minister netanyahu to go and the biggest rally is expected to start in a matter of hours in tel aviv as she is that an independent journalist and blogger
11:14 am
but he's the government struggling to find a way out of the crisis. i think the arab revolution served as inspiration for some of the protestors and they're using slogans that were used in egypt or in other places the government being improvising ever since this protest started at the beginning it was an attempt to portray this as something that only happens in tel aviv bunch of spoiled kids but when the protests spread around the country. the new talking point is that the protesters have some serious issues but it's not this government fault i don't think the government has a real policy vis a vis brought this right now i think that you know is mainly improvising and here is yet to come with something that would satisfy the needs of the protesters i'm not sure if he's actually able to do that or capable of that. while rising domestic discontent could drive the israeli government to begin
11:15 am
a new war in an attempt to divert attention from this station problem cell say so stablish here one of the main organizers all the protest. well you can see it at the hour is under big pressure here wasn't prepared for us but kind of movement at the moment actually our biggest fear is that not only our being so afraid of what's going to happen we'll start a war somewhere. because this relation in israel where used to be part of the big war zone we're in we're now if you talk about the way we live because we're always under pressure we always and there rick and that's what people want to change now they want to say ok so they're our friends and we are in a very very big problem with the countries around us and with the palestinians but still there are things that we have to solve and the situation outside of the israelis also related to what happened here between now between i think.
11:16 am
now this all journalism and the loss of p.r. that's the frequent findings of recent media surveys in the us as newspapers across the country claims the p.r. machine is rushing to fill the vacuum christine found finding out what it may mean to society is that. the first of all the additional soldiers. newspapers like the seattle post intelligencer the rocky mountain news and hundreds more have now become relics from the past. slash budgets have stopped the presses newsrooms nationwide. and mass layoffs throughout media have meant far fewer journalists to investigate policy and procedure we're losing this sort of accountability in government and business in all our. life lives if we lose journalists who aren't asking questions about what's going on the
11:17 am
numbers particularly dramatic with newspapers where revenue has been cut nearly in half while the journalism industry is shrinking the public relations industry is expanding at one time a one to one ratio between p.r. employees and journalists today that ratio is four to one with p.r. revenues jumping from three point five billion to eight point seven billion dollars journalists are simply overwhelmed by folks who are trying to spin them or trying to create their own story you have the public relations folks the spin doctors if you will driving the news cycle john nichols along with robert mckee has me wrote a book about it the death and life of american journalism in a sense we are becoming one of the most propagandized countries in the world short staffed news stations often use company video news releases or v.n. ours like this one if you have x.

about chances are the first have been filled up before the age of five p.r. to skies as news the new treatment is called mimics press releases also often read on the air or posted on the web before any fact checking is done with the focus often on getting it first rather than getting it right good evening everybody breaking news tonight but we are cutting into our program with some breaking news where corporate and government p.r. departments are filled with former journalists who know how to sell their message they understood out media worked what. reporters thought of as a good story as opposed to hype butch ward worked for nearly twenty years as a journalist with the philadelphia inquirer but after layoffs he left to work for health insurer independent blue cross before returning to work as a journalist that revolving door between the press and p.r. the press and governor. is causing real concern about what the long term effects
11:19 am
could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine completely where there is very little journalism be done in an awfully lot of spin you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself i'll go straight to questions white house spokesman jay carney worked for twenty years as a journalist for time magazine now he's president obama's spokes person former broadcaster and columnist tony snow went on to serve as spokesperson for president bush and jamie rubin went from the state department under president clinton to executive editor at bloomberg news it's so common such as a common practice and no one else no one is questioning or anymore in a time when hack and flack are often one in the same and the spin machine works overtime as the printing presses come to a halt the question becomes can a meaningful fourth of state actually survive. in washington christine for

11:21 am
a good idea but it's getting a mixed response in india the government unprecedented right to education aims to provide compulsory and free education for all children between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide that's getting in the way as our report. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just getting ready for school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like cushy in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with domestic work or to get a job to bring in some extra money made for i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed an act making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it even requires a leap private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to
11:22 am
grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushy today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are free schools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they're going to school that means a student like cushy can attend an elite private school if she entered that wins the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully in a row she is insist that are attending not just schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe that integrating indian children from a lower class into a private school would not be practical. these elite schools have a very high standard only juden whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation. it's
11:23 am
a position supported by the well off members of indian society the school is not meant for them. it's meant for the. people of. the good miller did. good on his view leave it. as a work they were there. were bringing him in that sort of. so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixed reception the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study to twelfth and greet and become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r t new delhi india. where you can follow the latest developments on this story on our twitter feed on the school call we appreciate a reveals she's been speaking to both rich and poor parents to find out what they
11:24 am
think of the reform she says that many wealthy indians believe that children would be academically held back if there was a quota for the poor while a school principal in a poverty stricken neighborhood told him he believes his juveniles that would never be able to compete in an elite private school gave up today with a first hundred pins on alternative aged under school called. ok let's return to our top story now the u.s. debt ceiling deadlock on the approach or august second deadline with a solution on the horizon gloryhole finessed otherwise known as the resident has been finding out whether people feel a financial apocalypse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again
11:25 am
and nothing happened just be negotiation process i think so it's idle threat. i believe so do you expect more from the people who like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states would go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real and they're they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent the reports that they think are there of representing but i don't i think the they keep on saying the american people want this market want this but i don't think anybody really what they really want what do you want but i would like a compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but will make it through and you know we'll pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama
11:26 am
unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up and and hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody has given any ground i've seen are you logged before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties to parties to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing dish will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're. bounders the a lot more posturing from all the politicians involved it's. some more international news from across the globe now in brief a namesake of the story of three t.v. satellite dishes near the libyan capital tripoli. said to have been carried out in
